About Me
I recently finished my master’s degree at the University of Chicago. My thesis, of which I am extremely proud, was an interview-based project on the intersection of ethnic identity and religion, with a case study at a Croatian Catholic Church in Chicago. Through my master’s, I have gained experience in writing literature reviews, conducting and coding interviews and surveys, and analyzing data. I even learned how to code this website using Rmarkdown and CSS!
Prior to my master’s, I worked for 4 years fighting for the rights and value of immigrants in the United States at a pro-immigration advocacy organization in Washington, DC.
Because I love storytelling, I’m also a total podcast nerd. Current favorites include: Ologies and The Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos, and basically any podcast from NPR, but especially Rough Translation.
